Add an Electric Slow Cooker to Your Preps, Here’s Why…
The other day I talked about creating a SHTF battery recharging business. Well, one of the best reasons to do so–besides the potential business aspect–is the fact that a descent sized off-grid power setup gives you options, including the ability to run and recharge a variety of small electronics and, in this case, the ability to…
Could You Survive 7 Years of Drought and Famine? If Not, Seriously Re-Think Your Plans
As often happens to me, I’m surfing the web for who knows what and wind up on another survival blog, this time PrepaerdnessPro.com and began reading Kellene Bishop’s article on A Seven Year Famine. I remember having read the article which was originally published about a year ago when we were having a very significant…
Sun Oven Sunday – Self-Rising Biscuit Bread (No Yeast!)
A few days ago I re-read this article on How to Make Self-Rising Flour and since I’ve never actually tried making bread without yeast and because I wanted to make bread in my sun oven this weekend, I decided to give it a go. Substituting for yeast is actually incredibly easy. Basically, you just use 1.5…
Sun Oven Sunday – Cherry Cobbler
Last week my wife made cherry cobbler on a whim which was delicious so I figured I would try it and see what happens in the sun oven. Fortunately, this recipe is super simple and, yes, I know it’s supposed to brown and won’t do so in a sun oven but I was still curious…
Sun Oven Sunday – German Pancakes Fail!
I decided to make what we call “German Pancakes”–I’m not sure what they’re actually called–on a whim last night for dinner but wound up with an utter failure. The recipe is super simple, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and mix until it looks a bit like batter: Then bake at about…
Sun Oven Sunday – Baked Tilapia

CONTEST POST: Fasting for SHTF Preparedness by A.K.
Have you ever considered fasting as a means of preparing for SHTF? I didn’t until I did my first fast a few years back. It was more for health reasons although some people do so for religious reasons, and since then I’ve fasted a few more times with success. If you didn’t know fasting is…
The Incredible, Edible Egg – Why Eggs MUST Be Part of Your Preps
Even before I challenged myself to store eggs without refrigeration I’ve been a huge fan of eggs as a part of my preparedness plan. In fact, eggs are nothing short of INCREDIBLE and quite possibly the most important single food storage item you can include in your preps… seriously. Sure, we should store a wide…
Sun Oven Sunday – Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza
I’ve been meaning to get back into using my sun oven and, fortunately or not, it took going camping to do it. In fact, I wasn’t planning on using my sun oven at all while we camped but I brought it anyway and since the sun was out we figured we would try to make…
